Architectural Walking Tour | The New Spirit Of Modernism

Tours led by architect: Bronwen Jones
Following the difficult years of the second World War, Hobart prospered during a long boom during the 1950s and 1960s. It was a wonderous time for architects. Filled with ideas from travelling overseas and influenced by a new wave of architects who immigrated to Australia, they set about building a better world. Wander Hobart’s streets with architect Bronwen Jones and hear about the Modernist ethos and some of the buildings it inspired in Hobart’s city centre.
Featured buildings – State Library of Tasmania and The Stack, former M.L.C Building, Lands Building, and former AMP Building.
